FDOT & DTPW Non-motorized Component

The development of safe facilities for people who walk or use a bicycle is guided by the Comprehensive Development Master Plan and the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan.

CDMP Transportation Element Objective TE-2 states: “In furtherance of pedestrianism and other non-motorized modes of transportation in the planned urban area, Miami-Dade County shall enhance its transportation plans, programs and development regulations as necessary to accommodate the safe and convenient movement of pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles and motorized vehicles.”

LRTP Goal 1: Improve Transportation System and Travel

Objective 1.8: Include provisions for non-motorized modes in new projects and in reconstruction.

Bicycle and pedestrian projects in the 2017 Transportation Improvement Program are taken from the non-motorized section of the 2040 LRTP, the Transportation Alternatives Program application cycle and through agency coordination for other transportation projects. Projects are presented to the Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee for public information and comment.
